MEMORY OF PRESSURE

The series emerges from contrasts — softness with strength, play with intention, and abstraction with intimately familiar shapes. The objects feel recognizable. I work from the idea that forms already exist, waiting to be discovered.

Playfulness meets purpose. The sculptures carry hidden references, wearing them lightly. It is a celebration of the idea that a playful impulse can create forms with profound meaning. The shapes feel universal, yet remain open to interpretation.

An essential part of the work is the tension between technical expertise and the random aspects of the process. Deformations are physically predictable, yet always unique — reflecting the characteristics of the material used and the specific details of the technical procedures of welding and hydro-explosion. The interplay between conscious planning and unpredictable deformation brings authenticity and originality to the works. Each deformation is a singular moment when the force of the explosion reshaped the material from within. The process is as important as the final form. Instead of following a precise plan, I enter into a dialogue with the material, allowing myself to be guided by the emerging shapes.

This approach gives the sculptures a tangible sense of inner vitality — a life force pushing outward from within.

The intuitive approach is playful yet intentional. I test shapes, adjust them, sometimes reject and revive them again, until a cohesive presence naturally appears. Each sculpture thus becomes a path of self-discovery — an exploration not only of new forms, but also of my own creative intuition.

Through the fragmentation and reassembly of reality from multiple perspectives (cubism), I abstract familiar elements such as human gestures or botanical profiles into fluid, evocative forms.

In this way, forms arise that may bend or tilt, capturing a moment of movement or growth frozen in time. This paradox — solid objects embodying the softness and vitality of living forms — lies at the very core of the series.
